Walmart to raise prices due to tariff costs after posting solid first quarter sales

6. Just as in previous recessions, Walmart will become much more popular. I remember during the 08 crisis, people who vowed

to never step a foot in Walmart became avid fans of the store. I'm in a bedroom community of Tampa - about 35 miles away. Our county, even before the population explosion (which is ongoing as more & more people who work in Tampa are willing to drive further because of home prices), had/has 4 Walmarts (3 supercenters & one neighborhood market) all within 5-15 miles of each other. It is Walmart country! One of the supercenters has the largest parking lot I have ever seen at any Walmart, and it is always packed. Unless you go there when they first open in the morning, you can expect to park far enough away to get in your daily steps.
